Neymar Jr. has expressed a desire to end his career at Arsenal, but only if the club sells a ÂŁ60 million player, as he prefers not to play alongside him. This condition has been highlighted as a significant barrier to his potential move to Arsenal by January.
Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva has shared his enthusiasm for seeing Neymar in the Premier League with Arsenal, suggesting that a transfer is possible.
Neymar, 32, had a challenging first season at Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, playing just five matches before suffering a serious knee injury. Following surgery, he has been sidelined and missed the Copa America, but he is working towards a return for pre-season as Al-Hilal prepares to defend their title.
Gilberto remarked, âIâd love to see Neymar in the Premier League with Arsenal; it would definitely be interesting. His presence would delight fans and enhance the competition.â
Neymar has previously acknowledged the appeal of playing in the Premier League, expressing admiration for clubs like Arsenal during his time at Barcelona. He noted, âThe Premier League amazes me. I like the playing style and teams. Who knows? Iâd like to play there someday.â
Despite some skepticism among Brazilian fans about his move to Saudi Arabia, Gilberto hopes it won’t negatively affect Neymar’s performance, acknowledging that injuries can happen anywhere, including Europe.
